    Hi Alex1928361 ,

    Thanks for the reply, create a MEASUREMENT for calculating the group ordinal number on top of the previous one, and then do the calculation on the final result

    Group number = RIGHT(SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Description]),1)
    TotalAdjusted = 
IF(
    [Total by group] - [Group number] < 0,
    0,
    [Total by group] - [Group number]
)

    Final output

    Best regards,

Hello,

 

I very much appreciate the effort, but it is just returning the exact amount of money in each data entry (aka each row). I'm worried I was not specific enough- let me clarify. I need to create a quote on quote 'bin' showing "Money" totals for each combination of "PersonID" and "Description". For example it would add up all entries listed as Person ID 1 and Description Group1 (of which there could be dozens), then add up the totals for all entries listed as Person ID 1 and Description Group 2, then Person ID 2 and Description Group 1, and so on. Then, for each of those bins, it would adjust the total value based off of the description group, for example Person ID 5 and Description Group 8 would subtract 8 Money because it is affiliated with Description group 8.

 

Excluding the state MA can be ignored for the moment, I can add that in later. I believe your code to adjust the values would also work, and again thank you.
